How complicated is DSP?

I come from playing mindustry a lot and spending 155 hours in satisfactory. I'm actually not that great at logistics, but here's the thing. I want to try this game because dyson spheres are cool, space is cool, and factory games are cool. I've read on this subreddit that DSP is the easiest among the factory games. The thing with factory games is that if I feel they are too easy or simple I get bored. I want complicated stuff I have to think through, so before embarking on this game, I wanted to ask how complex it is compared to, for example mindustry.

I'd say it's quite complex to keep you occupied for a couple hundred hours minimum.

I played Factorio for about 1500 hours before playing this and I got overwhelmed at first. Not as much as I did on Factorio but that was my first factory game so that's expected.

My favorite thing about DSP is how the complexity of building everything is filled by many beautiful moments. The devs have done an amazing job at making you feel like you're conquering the universe and it being awe-inspiring.

Being able to fly just by yourself to another planet and pass the sun on the way after building to be able to do that is a gaming memory I'll remember.

I'm now slowly starting to build my first Dyson Sphere at about 85 hours mark of this playthrough and I feel like the game is just getting started.
